Green Initiatives at Pebble Beach Resorts

Pebble Beach Company takes great pride in our environmental stewardship of the Del Monte Forest and adjacent coastline along 17-Mile Drive. Our goal is to manage our 5,300 acres of properties and open spaces on a sustainable basis so that Pebble Beach is available for the enjoyment of generations to come.

Water Programs at Pebble Beach

Not only are we making great strides in water conservation both on the golf courses and in guest rooms, but we are also actively involved in keeping the water that surrounds us clean.

State-of-the-Art Irrigation Systems

Using advanced computer systems and hand-held radio controls, Company maintenance crews monitor golf course conditions in real-time and water on an as-needed basis, maximizing the efficiency of its irrigation program.

Golf Ball Recovery at Pebble Beach Golf Links

The stunning environmental backdrop of the Monterey Bay is an integral part of the extraordinary golf experience of Pebble Beach Golf Links. Golf ball loss is incidental to course play, and we are actively involved in both helping to prevent golf ball loss and cleaning up errant golf balls.

Energy Efficiency Programs

The Company has successfully reduced energy usage by 16% over the past two years through extensive retrofits and upgrades. This reduction translates to savings of 1,900,000 pounds of carbon emissions—which is equivalent to taking 160 cars off the road.

Materials Programs at Pebble Beach

Pebble Beach Resorts has engaged employees and guests in our goal to reduce, reuse and recycle. We’re also evaluating our services to ensure they are in line with our environmental goals.

Reusing & Recycling

More than 6.5 million pounds of plastic, glass, metal, cardboard, paper, green waste and over a dozen additional materials have been diverted annually from landfills through the Company’s Reuse and Recycle programs.

Nature Programs at Pebble Beach

Pebble Beach Resorts is surrounded by stunning natural beauty so we take our responsibility to help protect and maintain the ecosystems we interact with very seriously.

Forestry/Ecology Department

Pebble Beach Company has a full time staff of 10 ecology, forestry, and native plant nursery staff. Our nursery is capable of growing 70,000 native plants a year for use in re-vegetation and reforestation projects, which we operate year-round for all open space areas within the 5,300 acres of the Del Monte Forest.

Committed to Making a Difference

From focusing on local, organic produce and sustainable seafood in our restaurants, to guest rooms equipped with low-flow showerheads, Pebble Beach Resorts is actively committed to the environment.
